Imagine living with it your whole life. It's fine, because it is your normal and you don't know any different. But it is also horrible, because you want to know different. You want to know what it's like a be a normal, healthy kid. You visit the hospital every three months. Almost everyone there are men in their 20s-30s. You're the youngest one, and you never hear the end of it. "Oh so young, how unfortunate" or the worst, "where the hell did you get it," "you must have awful parents if that happened to you" and "don't be spreading that shit around." People are terrified of you. Once the find out, you actually have enough room to walk through the hallway. No one sits with you, no one wants to work on a project with you, no one wants anything to do with you. This is the story of Julian Caldwell, an HIV seropositive since birth. This is how she lives her live through the 1980s, where the disease was highly stigmatised. There wasn't even an official name for the illness until 1983, before then it was referred to as GRID, or Gay-Related Immune deficiency. Imagine, being 13 years old and having a disease "reserved" specifically for gay men.
